    I have never been a part of a group of people that are so quickly able to come together and stand for what is right. The talent team said we would not appear on the LEC broadcast until the deal was revoked.

    I am honored to call the casters I work with my friends.

    I have told companies I will strike twice in my life. Once as a doctor, and once as a caster. I was not willing to work a show this weekend with this deal in place nor were any of the talent team.

    We all had skin in the game.

    I am deeply saddened by the latest Episode of Crackdown where my integrity and principal is called into question through speculation. So, let me clear it up: The on-air talent declined to appear on broadcast until the deal was revoked.

    I did put my fucking job on the line.

    The LEC onair talent team did not simply share messages on social media and walk away. We raised our concerns internally, meet with LEC leaders, and leaders across Riot Games to outline our collective position against the partnership and the request to terminate the contract. 1/2

    We were prepared to refuse to work the show this weekend to demonstrate how strongly we felt on the topic. I couldn't be more proud of my fellow casters, but also my fellow rioters who all raised their voices to challenge something we did not believe in.

    Edit thanks hi-im-kay

    We communicated to Riot we would refuse to appear on the LEC broadcast until the deal was revoked. Indiana is always the first one to put EVERYTHING on the line for what is right.

    I've drawn "Prey Animal Soraka" at the peak of her evolution, due to popular demand.

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    ​

    The finished, final Splash Art.

    You may not exactly like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

    Thick, meaty legs that allow her to kite effectively, even in the heat of combat, with human feet for better traction.

    Wide set, all-seeing eyes, allowing her to see an incoming gank from any direction except the front.

    Plump, veiny udders, so that she can heal and protect her team with her nourishing and tasty goat milk.

    Please do not kill this majestic beast, for this is hell's territory, and she is beholden to no gods.

    Lillia exposes how poor AP bruiser itemization for junglers actually is.

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:36 PM PDT

    Compared to AD bruisers, AP bruisers are at a huge itemization deficit, and Lillia is at the crux of this issue.

    Protobelt and Zhonyas don't compare to the staying power of Sterak's Gage or Death's Dance, and even the effectiveness of those two items tends to be better on bursty AP assassins like Ekko and Sylas. Lillia can build these items, but they only further delay her Liandry's + Rylai's power spike.

    Abyssal Mask's 15% damage debuff isn't even in range for the outer edge of Lillia's Q Blooming Blows, making it a sub optimal item to build because it doesn't synergize with her main damage ability.

    The only cohesive item combination for AP bruisers, Liandry's + Rylai's, completely gimps them by giving 0 CDR, mana, or armor/MR. Meanwhile AD bruisers get to build Black Cleaver and get EVERYTHING they want, CDR, movement speed, AD, armor shred, and health.

    The itemization issues only get worse for Lillia jungle. You have to sink 2,500 gold into Runic Echoes, only to have 0 defensive stats. And again, the issue is compounded by a lack of a solid second CDR item. You can go Zhonya's after runic echoes, but this will only delay your Rylai's-Liandry's power spike.

    The real reason there are so few AP bruiser junglers is because of how poorly jungle itemization flows into the AP bruiser items. AD champions have the massive Warrior + Black Cleaver power spike that gives them almost everything they need to take over a game, with an immediate 30% CDR, damage, health, and movespeed to stick on targets. There is no equivalent for AP junglers to this power spike. There is no two item power spike for AP bruiser junglers, only the three item spike that comes from Runic Echoes, Liandry's, and Rylai's, which again, gives 0 CDR, and 0 defensive stats.

    As League's newest AP bruiser, Lillia shows how behind the times the itemization is for these AP junglers. As a laner, she can rush Rod of Ages, or even build Liandry's off the bat, but as a jungler, her choices are so limited, and the amount of gold she needs to come online is so huge. For a champion that needs to land a pinpoint hitbox on her W to effectively duel a target, there are very few items that support this play style, especially as a jungler.

    Nikkone, one-trick Challenger Fiddle, speaks out against toxic streamers harassing him (TF Blade, Tarzaned, etc.)

    Important notice regarding Nikkone's perspective on toxic streamers

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:37 PM PDT

    So, this thread is a reaction to Nikkone's recent video where he calls out 'toxic streamers'.

    ​

    Here is proof of Nikkone first timing Ezreal jungle, the lobby is them bitching back and forth, take it as you will. People in high elo look at the op gg of a player who locks in an unconventional pick, first timing an unconventional pick often results in a dodge. TF Blade dodges before the game started.

    https://clips.twitch.tv/QuaintYummyLatteWow

    link to his opgg to show he never played Ezreal before: https://na.op.gg/summoner/champions/userName=Nikkone

    ​

    Tyler1 has talked about Nikkone's accusations in these clips, essentially saying Nikkone has told the k** word 4 times to him since 2017.

    http://www.twitch.tv/loltyler1/v/695518854?sr=a&t=1017s

    http://www.twitch.tv/loltyler1/v/695518854?sr=a&t=3212s

    ​

    I've noticed a problem in this sub as of late.

    People are witch hunting and projecting on these big 'toxic streamers' a lot lately and apparently it's really popular to blame these streamers for the toxicity they encounter in their games. I'm kind of getting sick of all these things. I'm not saying said streamers haven't done anything toxic but as you can see there is a whole lot more to the story than just these streamers harrassing random players.

    Just look in the mirror, not everything starts in high elo. If you're toxic, it's not because some streamer is, it's because you're a part of the problem yourselves. As we all know, a lot of people are toxic. It doesn't just start from above the ladder, it's everywhere regardless and it has always been this way.

    ​

    All i'm trying to say is, be critical, don't witch hunt without knowing the full story and look in the fucking mirror before you jump to conclusions.

    LCK Production pulls no punches with the sickest looking Volibear ultimate you've ever seen

    Sources: LEC notified teams of NEOM partnership, league did not need approval

    If you really want your jungler to gank, give them some tasty info first.

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:16 AM PDT

    So I'm a diamond toplane main but recently created a smurf to master jungling.

    And the biggest difference I see in lower elo is a laner just spamming asking for assistance after fucking up a bad trade or getting shoved under turret.

    But that only serves to plant doubt in the mind of the jungler. While obviously we still take notice of assist pings, we are more likely to listen if you just give us some info first.

    Here are a few things you can do

    1) ping their Summoner spells. You can bet I'm gonna rush down bot as soon as I can if you ping Ashe has no flash. Don't just ping it the moment they've used it. Also ping it like two or three times in a row when you're asking for a gank. Or just type "no F"

    2) track the enemy jungler as well as you can and signify theres an opportunity to countergank. " J4, come for the 2v2 top!"

    3) tell us about the wave state. " Can dive mid" "renek is pushing" " lane frozen, come"

    4) use "on my way" pings. Most junglers are Desensitized to assist pings by now. Using an omw ping to signify your intent to kill alerts your jungler to provide help if possible

    5) ping your cc/ big damage spell that's ready. When I'm in the vicinity and Renekton pings his empowered W and ult, no words need to be said.

    These little things go a long way into enticing your jungler to come help you. So stop spamming the assistance ping and start seducing your jungler instead.

    Today, I officially defeated my nightmare

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:14 AM PDT

    To introduce myself i'm no more than a low diamond ADC main on eune server. About an hour ago I decided to queue up for a game before I leave for my driving test. One thing was certain, the outcome of the game will determine my mental for the next 2 or 3 hours. And honestly i was all in on that. I know i deserve better, i know i deserve more.

    As i got into champ select i decided to mix things up a bit. For the first time in 2 years, I did not ban Vladimir, instead i took the Ezreal of the table.

    You could probably guess by now, the enemy team locked vladimir. As i loaded into the game as Cait I was all in tears. One game i need to win, only to play against the Blood Lord himself? It was impossible...

    But to give up here, now? No, that's not me. I had to focus, I had to collect myself for the game i was about to play was more important than all I've done so far in my life.

    And guys, I did it.

    I stomped botlane, send Ashe down to the tilt hell as i rose to the top of the food chain. I took turrets all around the map, I was the spark of hope, the game was indeed winnable.

    But then as I solo pushed midlane it happened. Me and Him. The showdown which will determine it all.

    I had to do it.

    He flashed on me, how predictable. His entire combo I ate and it was distasteful. As i was about to go down to i did the impossible. I flashed on him and with my headshow empowered autoattack i killed him and got enough health to survive his ignite homoplague combo. I died right after to Thresh flash, but I didn't care. I defeated the villain. My city was safe, the 0/4 Vladimir will no longer hold us in fear.

    I won this game, but more importantly, I won happiness.

    My name is jings and i wish you all the same.

    I know i'll pass my driving test now and you can do it too. Go beyond .

    PSA on Caitlyn item build path, brought up by Phreak on The Dive - Infinity Edge, Stormrazor, Essence Reaver (don't build attack speed items, ie Rapid Firecannon).

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:31 AM PDT

    Caitlyn is suddenly S Tier after the recent buffs and getting played a lot. Phreak and Kobe explained on the latest episode of The Dive that Caitlyn does not have very good base attack speed (meaning the attack speed items are not as optimal on her as compared to other champions). Phreak's suggested item path is Infinity Edge, Stormrazor, Essence Reaver. Berserker's Greaves still for boots.

    ​

    This was brought up because there is the notion that Caitlyn does not feel quite so good in mid game because people buy attack speed items on her 2nd - such as Rapid Firecannon. Phreak said that buying a BF Sword item 2nd instead will make her feel good throughout the entire game and you won't feel the drop in performance in mid game.

    As someone playing since Season 3 that knows a decent amount about the game overall, I honestly had no idea about this. I basically always see Rapid Firecannon being built on her, usually as a standard 2nd item, or a core item in general on her, so to have the Attack Damage (BF Sword items) being a better alternative is kind of enlightening to me. I just thought it was interesting and figured for anyone using her currently it might be something you want to try out.

    TIL: You can throw your soulbound partner into the Prize Fight as Kalista

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:51 AM PDT

    Upcoming shop and item revamp idea - Make interfering passives tell you that they are being overridden

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 04:22 PM PDT

    With the upcoming item and shop rework for the next preseason, I think that a very good QoL change would be to make it easier for newer/less experienced players to know when two items have passives that cancel each other out.

    Like, if you buy both Phantom Dancer and Sterak's Gage, you would get a small icon on your item in your inventory, and upon hovering you would notice that the passive Lifeline is in bold red, maybe even telling you what item is overriding it. There could also be a note that says "press this combination of keys to learn why this is happening", which would explain it in 2-3 sentences.Another option would be to include the same thing in the shop, where players would be notified that the item they are currently hovering for purchase will override another passive/be overridden by another passive. Whereupon hovering on an exclamation mark next to the item, it would tell you why in 2-3 sentences.

    One of the goals of the upcoming item and shop revamp is to make it easier for players to understand when to buy what and how the item they are buying will help them. This suggestion (or that fixes the same issue in another way) would greatly reduce the number of people who stack PD, Gage, and Maw.
    While there are other offenders among items with overlapping passives, and there are some items with overlapping passives that are intentionally and knowingly built together (Randuin's/Thornmail/Frozen Heart), most of the times less experienced players just buy the item because they remember seeing it in other players' builds from their games, but they don't notice that they aren't being built together. It would also help the newest players understand why they can't just stack 5 of the same item. Thoughts?
